The schooner Torea, Captain Grundy, arrived on Saturday from Kaipara, after an eight days’passage. The barque G.M. Tucker, from Newcastle for this port, was spoken of by the Jessie Nicol in Cook’s Strait on the 27th ult. The barque Bells, for Cape Town, was towed to sea on Saturday afternoon; and the Conference, for Newcastle, in the evening. The Bolls is expected to proceed from the Cape to Mauritius for a cargo for this port and Dunedin. The brig Moa left Kaipara for Dunedin on the 23rd ult., and Captain Grundy, of the Torea, further reports the brigantines Marmion and Jane Anderson sailing from Kaipara also on that date. The Sovereign and the Look-out, for Sydney , were the only vessels loading at the mills when the Torea left. The s.s. Wakatipu and the s.s. Eotorua came in yesterday morning from Port Chalmers, rather an exceptional circumstance for two red funnel steamers to remain over Sunday at this port. Both steamers left Port Chalmers on Saturday evening, the Wakatipu getting away first. Of late this steamer, which for a long while was regarded a very comfortable but very slow boat, and quite *' out of the running ” with such a steamer as the Kotorua, has pushed herself through the water at a speed which has very much surprised the “ knowing ones ” in steamer matters, and which has caused almost a flutter of excitement among some of the boats of the fleet whose pretensions to superiority for being fast like “ the pride of life,” seem destined to be brought to naught. When the Taiaroa left Wellington the other day a couple of hours before the Wakatipu,;her passengers could not understand seeing the Wakatipu lying here at the wharf when they arrived, and upon being informed she had made fast there an hour before their astonishment correspondingly increased. Yesterday she beat the Rotorua’s time by over half an hour between Port Chalmers and this port, and all that remains now to establish her reputation for speed is, as some one yesterday remarked, “to have a brush with the Hinemoa.” She leaves to-day for Wellington and Sydney, and the Eotorua for Auckland via way ports on the East Coast.

The Conference, on Saturday night, had a fair number of passengers for Sydney. Just as the vessel was leaving, one of the passengers, Mr Flockton, put off to her in a dingy, which he managed to leave before making sure of the barque, and with the unpleasant result that ho was for several -minutes immersed to the brim of his hat until a rope being secured round him, he was hoisted on board the Conference. The steamer Mahinapua, from Dunedin and Camara, and the Waitaki, from Oamaru, arrived on Saturday, and loft—former, in the afternoon, for WeU Q!7 t on and the Waitaki at night, the out going marl for the San rTanoisoo steamer. ,-“ aw ? aj Wellington and the North, nr” iVe( j a t g jjg a.m., and left in the for Dunedin,, to bo docked and -•Cleaned, During this month and January passengers by the Union Company’s steamers to or from Melbourne will be afforded the pleasure of a visit to the largest of the West Coast Sounds Milford Sound. The steamers each way are announced to call at Milford Sound, en route during the holiday season.
